Me over my lid?

I feel compelled to respond to the emails and comments I recieved after my "Stupid american System' post.
NO. I do not think that moving from student to RA to RD is moving into an incompetant area. Now becoming dean of students would be questionable and President would certainly be way over my competent level.
That post was more of a conglomeration of observations that I have had over the last few months. Not all bad observations.
Kudos to Zeager Bros. Inc. (www.zeager.com) for being aware of this principle. They have their shop pesonell organized in such a way that the best mechanics are not sitting behind a computer all day on the phone. Their best mechanic is in the shop making decisions and his assistant (who is good with keeping track of parts and other stuff) is on the phone ordering supplies. It works quite well.

So for those of you wondering, I don't think me as RD has much potential as a career to "move up the ladder". But I do feel, to some degree, capable of doing my job.
